Help Please, brakes sticking.

+1 for glc's post. I had a friend with similar product on both of his vehicles. First one he replaced everything. The master cylinder, calipers and wheel bearings. When he replaced the brake hose, since it was the only thing left, it fixed his hanging brakes. The second vehicle, that was the first part swap and it was the same problem.
As a side note, your brakes will always be very hot. Blister your fingers hot. That's normal. Smoking brakes, on the other hand, are not normal.
Get a friend, jack up and support the rear end. Have your friend step on the brake and release. Both wheels should almost immediately free up. If one takes longer to free up, or doesn't free up at all, that's your sticky side. If one hose is bad, I would replace both. Save yourself the headache down the road.

It wasn't meant to be a prank, or a joke. There's usually a piece of metal that bends toward the rotor. It's what makes your brakes squeal when the pads get low. It's unusual if there isn't one. But that's how I usually tell the orientation. That, or I put the new ones on the same way the old ones came off. It's not often someone puts them on wrong.

But, since there isn't a wear indicator on your pads, I'd simply put them on as they came off. Then replace the rubber hoses, as indicated a few times.
If the pads went on with little force, then your pads are not the problem. If the hoses collapse, as they do with age, they will hold the pressure in the line and calipers.
